Grumble in the jungle: Record heat 'sparks health fears for I'm A Celebrity stars'... as pals beg Gemma Collins not to quit show
It's not
even a full 24 hours since the latest series of I'm A Celebrity... Get
me Out Of Here! has debuted, but it's already shaping up to be one of
the most dramatic outings yet.
As
a new crop of celebrities, including Melanie Sykes, Michael Buerk and
Tinchy Stryder, settle into the Australian jungle, bosses of the ITV
show are now reportedly concerned about their safety, thanks to record
temperatures.
According to the Daily Mirror,
Sunday's 45C-degree heat - making it the hottest day in November since
1968 - have left a number of the stars feeling weak, prompting a call
for extra water supplies.
A source
said: 'the celebrities are already in meltdown and we've barely started.
This will be the toughest series ever to survive. We are on red alert
to make sure no one becomes seriously ill.'
Added
another source: 'The camp has had the worst possible start with freak
high temperatures. It has made everyone tired and weak.'
Meanwhile,
TOWIE star Gemma Collins appears to be going through the toughest time
of all the contestants as she has already been shown breaking down on a
number of occasions.
And
after having a panic attack over the prospect of a helicopter ride -
forcing bosses to find an alternative route to get her into the jungle -
Gemma was seen threatening to make an early exit from the jungle.
And
as she faces tough conditions after being voted into the Celebrity
Slammer alongside such contestants as Vicki Michelle, Craig Charles, and
Nadia Forde, Gemma's pals are backing her to stay in the competition.
Her best friend Alana Kane, who will meet Gemma on her exit from the jungle, told 'I hope I don't have to book my flight to come out earlier but I think she'll do this. Gem can go all the way.
She also has a supporter in former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, a 2012 runner-up on the show.
'I
think Gemma will be quite entertaining during a trial,' said Ashley.
'She seems at first glance to be quite girly and not want to get too
dirty.'
However,
it appeared that food was going to be the new issue as she learned she
was to survive on porridge for the next few days.
'If we don't get a treat in a few days, I am going to kill myself,' she told her fellow contestants.
Despite
her drama-filled start to the show, Gemma seemed to become accustomed
to her bleak new surroundings as the hours passed, and even came up with
a way to make their porridge rations taste better - by frying them up
as patties.
Pleased
with her culinary master-stroke, she beamed in the Bush Telegraph as
she quipped: 'I think I got the team’s confidence up that I am useful
for something. The whole chopper incident is a distant memory now.
They’re not bothered.'
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! is about the international reality television franchise. For the UK version, see I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (UK TV series). For the U.S. version, see I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (U.S. TV series).
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! is a reality television game show series in which up to 12 celebrities live together in a jungle
environment for a few weeks. They have no luxuries, and compete to be
crowned king or queen of the jungle. The first episode aired in August
2002 and a 14th UK series is currently airing throughout November 2014.
The UK, the German and the 2003 U.S. version of the series take place in Australia, at a permanently built up camp at the edge of a sub-tropical rain forest that extends from Numinbah Nature Reserve and Springbrook National Park.
This series has been criticized by the UK Secretary of State for Culture, Tessa Jowell. In an interview with the Financial Times
during the second UK series, she said, "If they weren't mostly – save
their blushes – has-been celebrities, there might be more interest [...]
I think that if we saw many more programming hours taken over by
reality TV, I hope you'd begin to see a viewers' revolt."
In 2002, CBS, broadcaster of the popular American reality show Survivor, unsuccessfully sued ABC and Granada TV over a planned American version of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, alleging similarities.
The show's use of live insects and other living creatures in the bushtucker trials has led to some public criticism of the show and its producers and those involved in the programming. This issue was highlighted during the 2009 UK series, where celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo killed, cooked and ate a rat. The Australian RSPCA investigated the incident and sought to prosecute D'Acampo and actor Stuart Manning for animal cruelty after this episode of the show was aired. ITV was fined £1,600 and the two celebrities involved were not prosecuted for animal cruelty despite being charged with the offense by the New South Wales Police. This incident did, however, highlight among certain groups such as Buglife, a British charity for the conservation of insects, and the RSPCA, the controversy surrounding the use of living creatures for human entertainment. It also raised concerns with these groups that people may attempt to recreate the bushtucker trials with their own pets at home.
There has been criticism that the producers pretend that the celebrities have to live in "dangerous" jungle even though they are in a controlled environment, with some of the scenery being artificial, e.g. a pond and a small waterfall.
In November 2014, TV presenter Chris Packham has written an open letter to Ant and Dec asking them to end "abuse of animals" in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, He described the trials as "out of date" and "silly".
